Christina Contento
I commend you for taking the first step at bettering your mental health! My focus is working with teens-young adults. I specialize in relationship issues, women's issues, and life transitions. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma, family conflict, internalized stress, and self-esteem. My approach is warm and empathetic, I often use humor and sarcasm (when appropriate) to help the client feel comfortable and relatable. I use an integrated intervention method mixed with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, strengths-based perspective, compassion focused, and culturally sensitive, however, I adjust the treatment modality to best suit your needs. It is important to show up and be an active participant in therapy to work toward the changes you desire, and I look forward to helping you with that journey!
